"umount -n -r readwrite,rw /" or something like that.

Try writing down the *exact* message and - if you don't know how to type
in the instructions it gives you to follow, post them here. Otherwise,
we cannot help you beyond saying "it looks like you have a problem or
something like that".

I login root and do it and ^D. Restart. Same. Try with safe boot menu
option. Safe boot does an fsck and chkdsk or something.

If your system is doing chkdsk then you are not running linux

The same
problem. Try a few more variations.
Pls don't tell me I have to reinstall again.

I won't. I'll justy tell you to note down what is yoru problem and post
it here or something like that.

e are not mind readers and we are not sitting in front of your screen so
"something like that" and "or something" just doesn't tell us what is
going on.
